NEADS.CA Accessibility Features

Accessibility Features

"AccessKey" features enabling use of the keyboard (rather than the mouse)
to move to specific locations. AccessKeys help users with disabilities
navigate through a website more easily as well as creating a "Hot-Key" like
feature that benefits all frequent visitors to a site.
Windows users can navigate with the AccessKey feature by keying the [Alt] key plus the AccessKey.
Users of Internet Explorer must also hit the [Enter] key to activate the link,
but users of current versions of the Mozilla and Netscape browsers need only use
[Alt] plus the AccessKey to jump to the link destination.
Mac users also can make use of the AccessKey feature by keying [Ctrl] plus the AccessKey.

To assist the visually impaired, there is complete structural separation of "text" from the "style" or "format" affecting its display by using external style sheets exclusively.

Also to accommodate the visually impaired, all "color" elements are defined by external style sheets; there is no color-dependent text or content used anywhere in the site.

All text is scalable larger or smaller using the browser's "text-size" function.
